President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, on Tuesday, December 299, 2025, declared that the new tax laws, including those that took effect on June 26, 2025, and the remaining acts scheduled to commence on January 1, 2026, will continue as planned.
The President in a statement he personally signed, said that the reforms are a once-in-a-generation opportunity to build a fair, competitive, and robust fiscal foundation for our country.
Tinubu explained that the tax laws are not designed to raise taxes, but rather to support a structural reset, drive harmonisation, and protect dignity while strengthening the social contract.
He therefore urged all stakeholders to support the implementation phase, which he noted is now firmly in the delivery stage.
The President said; “Our administration is aware of the public discourse surrounding alleged changes to some provisions of the recently enacted tax laws.
“No substantial issue has been established that warrants a disruption of the reform process. Absolute trust is built over time through making the right decisions, not through premature, reactive measures.
“I emphasise our administration’s unwavering commitment to due process and the integrity of enacted laws,” he said.
Tinubu pledged that the Presidency will work with the National Assembly to ensure the swift resolution of any issue identified.
He further said; “I assure all Nigerians that the Federal Government will continue to act in the overriding public interest to ensure a tax system that supports prosperity and shared responsibility”.
